Biography
Laoshang was the son of Modu Chanyu, and he was first given command of an army in 177 BC, when his father asked him to make the Yuezhi's king's skull into a drinking cup and chase them westwards, out of Gansu. Laoshang succeeded his father three years later, and in 162 BC he won his fourth victory in the war with the Yuezhi barbarians. He forced the Yuezhi to settle with the Qiang tribes after this victory, and he conquered Hexi. Laoshang died in 160 BC after a fourteen-year reign.
